Soon after, O'Toole fired in a brilliant free kick which thundered off the underside of the bar and, according to many, at least a foot over the line, but neither the referee nor his assistant awarded a goal.

In the second half, Slough were unable to break through again, restricted mainly to shots from distance despite playing neat football. Hawtree was called upon to make a good one-on-one save, and Adam Logie cleared another off the line as Slough pushed forward in search of an equaliser and were caught on the break.

The hosts held firm and qualified for the two-legged final against Arlesey Town, whilst Slough can now concentrate fully on playing catch-up in the league.
